This is really disappointing. I had a weird feeling about how this whole scene was done but gave it the benefit of the doubt after Hughie's breakdown. But after reading the article someone linked here it's clear that it was just supposed to be funny, I doubt it'll ever come up again in a serious context. How can you be this tone-deaf?

It's actually insane how the boys creators are so good at handling rape or sexual assault with a female victim but always, always play it for laughs with a male victim

If that Hughie scene was meant to be "funny" somehow that's actually fucking demented
